I’m running Graphene on a Pixel 6. I lost it and someone opened it somehow and called two of my contacts to give it back.

I’m a bit confused how this even happened. When I got the phone back, they were going through my contacts. I checked app usage stats and they went through a banking app (not missing money), maps, signal, etc.

Is there a way to figure out how they even unlocked my phone?

    Unless you have it set to never lock its not possible. All phones lock automatically after 30-60 seconds by default.

          Yes, watching videos is one of the core uses of my phone. But that’s besides the point, it’s illustrative that there are apps that keep a screen unlocked.

          Prevent phone from sleeping : I believe is the permission name

          Not OP, but a lot of people use YouTube (video) as a music player. Although I would expect these people to notice the sound getting quieter/disconnecting when they moved away from the phone.
